NKOTB are no longer the teen super stars of the 90s. They are grown men trying to hang on to their youth. If you buy this album you are either a man-gina or twelve. Heck, even if you are twelve, I find it a bit creepy to hang a poster of five grown men on your wall.
Grab a paper sack and prepare to hurl. Below is a clip of the New Kids ( at least update the name…hell, they are all over thirty) playing at the KISS (radio station) concert. Notice the surfing video footage being played on the background screen, enough to make a grown man cry.
Speaking of grown men crying, check out this quote from Joey McIntyre…
“When we found out we were going to do [the Kiss concert], I was just tickled pink. Because there’s just so much history here for us,”
“Tickled Pink!” What kind of man utters the phrase “tickled pink”?
If you are a closet New Kids On the Block fan, dig out your NKOTB lunch box, tee-shirt, and posters and get ready for their up-coming tour…and then shoot yourself!

Actually, I’ve heard their new album. Sounds more like grown men making grown music. Nothing at all like their old stuff from their producer. They’ve matured and moved on from their teeny bopper stuff and so should the critics. Their album is #1 right now in Teen Pop, R&B, and Dance&DJ on Amazon.com and the album only came out 4 days ago.
If Joe really said that, I’m sure he was making a joke. They’re such goofballs and they really know how to have fun. The history for the KISS concert is that they were supposed to do their very last concert there 14 years ago but they never did because they disbanded so it was kinda left hanging. So, for them to perform there now, as one of their first concerts after reuniting, makes it all come full circle. I can see why he would be tickled pink.
They’re veterans in this industry. I’m sure they know what they’re doing. They put a lot of hard work into this reunion and everyone involved, including Ne-Yo, New Edition, Lady GaGa, Polow da Don, Akon, and Pussycat Dolls is treating it with well-deserved respect.
